We are excited to announce that a leading Australian university has recently acquired a Palas DNP Digital 3000 aerosol generator from our company along with some other particle measurement instruments to support critical research on bush fire smoke and its impact on public health. This advanced equipment will enable the university’s researchers to simulate bush fire smoke under controlled conditions, providing valuable insights into the composition, dispersion, and health effects of particulate matter.
The Palas DNP digital 3000 is used for the generation of nano-scale test aerosols from graphite, silver (Ag), gold (Au), copper (Cu), etc. through condensation using carrier gases such as nitrogen or argon.
Bush fire smoke poses a significant threat to public health, with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and toxic compounds linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Understanding the behavior of bush fire smoke, how it forms, travels, and affects communities is essential for improving public health strategies, especially in regions prone to frequent bush fires. With the Palas DNP Digital 3000, researchers will be able to create precise, reproducible aerosol samples that replicate real-world conditions, aiding in the development of effective interventions to protect vulnerable populations.
We are proud to support such important research and contribute to the global effort to better understand and mitigate the effects of bush fire smoke.
